    It's nice to see courts uphold a person's privacy, even if there is debate as to the morality of what they are doing. I do wonder how the MPAA/RIAA will react to this. Slashdot have already covered how America is trying to force the DRMA upon Canada and perhaps they will now step up their efforts? Or will this just further widen the gap between the American and Canadian governments, and cause more friction?

    I'm not stressed. I'm just terribly, terribly alert.

    Due Process and no-bullshit attitudes strike again. Way to go Canada!

    If you believe in privacy, and believe you have "nothing to hide" at the same time, you're a goddammed idiot
